Note that the current Secretary General, J.A. Joselyn, was elected for an eight year period in 1999. The position is therefore not up for election this time. Resumes of all candidates have been posted on the IUGG web site.

During the next five months, new candidates for each office will be added to the list given above if they are supported by at least three presidents or equivalent officers of National Committees of Member Adhering Bodies. As before, the candidates must signify their acceptance of nomination and must prepare a resume outlining their position, research interests, and activities related to the Union. The deadline for adding nominations is 30 March, 2003.

The resulting final list of nominations will be completed and distributed by 30 April, 2003. The By-Laws provide for re-nominations following the close of the first Council Meeting at the General Assembly.
